Minecraft creator Markus Persson has confirmed that the game has sold upwards of 2 million copies and generated over $31 million. He also announced that the game will be dropping the beta label on November 11, same day that Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim releases.
“It’s a bit tricky to really do a release for Minecraft as we keep updating it all the time,” said Persson. “For one, the version we deem as the ‘full version’ won’t be very different at all from what the game was like a week ago, and we’ll keep adding features after the release as well, so it’s really more of a milestone when we finally get rid of the Beta label, and some kind of goal for us to work towards.”
